250 skills have already been decided we'll see them when they are released soon

Considering there aren't any creature drops that are Augmentable, Four Leaf is completely pointless, so scratch that one instantly.

We really don't need anything else extending the use of our energy, Conserve or any equivalent would just mean we have longer to wait at EOC with not a lot to do.

Stim Master could be useful, but again I would prefer something along the lines of Extend, to increase the time of Core buffs when cast.

As for what HCS have decided to give us? We have no idea, we just know they've decided (I hope) what the buffs are going to be. We'll find out when they're released.

My prediction: they'll force people to dump 100 points into haggle as a prerequisite to getting a useful core skill.

Every skill so far in the Core area are stand alones, don't need anything else to be able to get them, so I find that unlikely Jhilax, but you never know.

And yes if you put 150 points into a skill then it would be 7.5% savings... but considering right now the only way to put 150 points into something is to be level 500... that's not really possible. 125 points? Sure thing.

Also considering reaching level 500 on this game at the current rate of new content will be in roughly 2 years time... it's going to be a LONG LONG time before anyone has a level 150 skill.

2 years?

Think another way.

If we input structures that can upgrade our skills to 150~175 like FallenSword.
Then HCS should be lower down the drop rate and invent rate to fit the higher skill level.
So far, everything looks fine for skills level 115~120.

So... we may think about the necessary of skills level.

And the creature spread everywhere, easy to find, fast enough to reborn.
Very few areas we need to walk more than 10 steps to find one creature, unless someone is with the same path ahead and kill them faster than you did.
Conserve may not need for urgent at this moment.

Err... just my two cents.

Yeah ecolitan... we seem to be getting 10 levels of new content roughly once a month, and let's face it that isn't speeding up. So with 255 levels more content needed to reach level 500... that's roughly 25 months.

So about 2 years.

Yeah Benzi, definitely would be nice to see some structures to boost skill levels, but HCS have said a few times from memory that they have no intention of introducing them here anytime soon, if at all. So I guess we're stuck with what we've got for a while.

I wasn't thinking you had OVER estimated how long it would be until 500.... Content is coming out at far less than 10 levels per month (we are promised it will get better).

Yep, you are right, Kitteh.
Around 1000 skill points when you reach level 200.

I do love the design of this function -- level up only get Evo. points, and completed mission can get skill points.

Some stories are good if you check carefully one by one.
Although some rewards are very few for particular missions. (level 90~100 un-wise path)
But when you solve them and collect all skill points, you will find it is almost the same like FallenSword did. (one level up gets 2 level up points and 5 skill points)

ps: I love the missions from level 180~190. Man~ long road. But a little bit dislike for the wise path and un-wise path... especially when you get the reward = 1 skill point. :mrgreen:

Yeah fair call on the potential underestimation of how long it will take. And yeah we've been 'promised' a lot of things that have yet to be delivered.

I just hope that the new skills do actually come out with the next new content. I guess we can only wait and see.

New content, wow, thought that was just a little guy talking to me in my mind. But if it took two years to get a level 150 skill, I guess the game would almost be dead by that time

New skills have already been decided on and are simply awaiting some coding time. Things have been a bit busy with the move to the new Studio but hopefully we'll see them soon!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess Grims responses will be...

'You'll find out what they are when we release them.'

&

'Probably.'

BigGrim, really? What are these upcoming skills? Will we get free skill reset like when the new skills in FS come out?


No specifics were given other than they're mostly class skills and yes there will be a free reset
